Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired encompassing medical training with an emphasis on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage problems stretching from familiar ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet generally encounter.
